Add or Edit screens for Pages and Products loads really really slow

Version: 7.x
Product: ALL
Platform: ALL

I have ShopSite v7 and whenever I go to edit or add a page or product, it takes a really long time to load the add/edit screen (or in some cases it takes so long it seems like it freezes the browser). Is there anything that can be done to speed this up?

In ShopSite version 7 the ability was added to work with images in subdirectories, and also the option to select Images from the media directory via a pop-up window rather than the standard drop-down list selection in previous versions. The drop-down list method is still the default method.

On some systems with large numbers of images in a single directory the problem you experienced may occur when using the default drop-down list option. Swicthing to the pop-up window method for selecting images should speed up the rendering of the add/edit screens, as it eliminates the loading of the full list of images onto those screens. To switch to the pop-up selection, go to you ShopSite's Images menu, and at the bottom is a radio button selection labeled 'Choose how you want to select images for pages and products'. Select the 'From a pop-up window' selection and click the Save button. Next time you add/edit a page or product after this, there will be a 'select' button for the image fields rather than a drop-down list.
